Having nearly graduated from college in both literature and education, no one would have blamed Max for taking an extended self guided road trip to clear his head.
Especially after recovering from a *holiday weekend* with his dad and friends.
True the guys had always been there for him.
Just as his father continued to be.
Still, with so much closeness and support it was natural - he supposed - to feel a little constricted.
Like a snake?
No with that he felt guilty.
Though his room had been liquidated with all traces of himself - save his teddy bear --
And who's fault was that?!
He stepped on the break testing the limits of the seatbelt and nearly the mountain's barricade. Max took a deep breath and tried to remember when he was at a perfect calm...
Roxanne
Where had that name come from?
Having broken up with the last girl and not yet healed fully from the last series of failed relationships.
Was it because no one else was...?
Waving arms?
In the middle of -
Had he put the car in break?!

Stomping hard and swearing at himself Goof Jr felt as dense as his name suggested. As it was, the friction gave himself a hotfoot; two of them - so the gravel actually felt  cool as he parked to see what was the problem of the stranded in the middle of ---
Oh.
Wow
No.
"Hey Max -" Roxanne looked deep into his eyes with the hypnotic, neon-orange, glow of an electric stove.
"Good to see you..."
And heated up just as quickly.
Based on [link] I'm going to try to make a better effort for my fictionEspecially if they involve greater depth - special thanks to the artist of the work used above and of her written and visual inspiration.
Especially for her support in MY mediums :)

I'm glad that you enjoyed my work so much as to write a story on it =] (the drawing itself was a request however~~)
And to your last sentence in the Artist Comments, you're quite welcome :hug:

This is a nice little intro; I love how you point out the "failed relationships" that Max had after Roxanne.
I don't know why I think this, but was Max getting a little suicidal or at least tense with the world around him? (testing the seat belt at the barricade of the mountain--something's up with him methinks :o)
